Finally, MJ has been laid to rest yesterday, i wrote this tribute a long time ago. But i waited till he reached 10 feet under to write this. RIP MJ. =)
A Tribute
I'm here to talk about a man,
Whom i believe has touched hearts and lives all over the world,
Many of us have been inspired by his music,
Moved by his lyrics, Danced along to his beats,
Young and old, he touched them all,
To talk about his good parts,
I don't even know where to start,
Its unbelievable what he can do,
Given just a pen and a paper,
And he tore apart the long standing racial barriers,
With just a song, only he could do
He reminded us the value of judging ourselves first,
before judging others,
When all we knew, was point fingers, practically blaming others,
He taught us to appreciate our world,
And save it for the future generation,
That song moved hearts all around the world,
It created a new born generation,
And who can forget the time he first moonwalked into our lives?
Gracefully sliding as if the floor was laid with powder,
It was a move most of us could only dream of achieving,
While many claimed to have perfected it,
All they did was just imitate it,
Because everybody knows there's only one moonwalker,
Now and forever.
Then came the part where he was hit with controversy,
One court case after another,
Why the accusations? To make him suffer,
When he was the one who made us believe in democracy?
Many of us thought his life was perfect,
Making millions after millions,
But the truth is nobody's life is perfect,
Even if you make billions and trillions.
He was forced into an early adulthood,
Leaving behind, his cherished childhood,
To join his brothers, who really asked if he wanted to?
Even though he was magical with his feet,
All he wanted, was a normal childhood.
He was due to perform in London,
50 nights, 50 concerts, a much awaited comeback tour,
But when he passed on,
What was supposed to be sweet, now turns sour.
Now he has moved on,
A tragic story, now forever gone,
A tribute to this man,
Was exactly my plan,
Now this is my story,
The rest will be history.
RIP M.J. Wherever in this world you may be, i hope that you will forever be happy. Rest in peace, for you have gone through too much in this world. Finally you will get some peace. Glad you have finally been laid to rest.
